My new desktop has a 240GB SSD for the OS and two 3TB HDDs. The latter will hold three mount points: /home, /opt, and /data. From what I've learned about LVM the past couple of days I think it makes sense for me to combine the two drives into one logical volume for the three mount points.
What you are planning seems fine, but I think you may be confusing the various pieces of an LVM setup.
Typically each drive is treated as a physical volume. Physical volumes are placed into a volume group. Logical volumes are allocated out of the volume group. A filesystem (or swap) is created on a logical volume.
Note that only using LVM for the HDDs should be fine. I.e. keeping the SSD separate and not placing it in a volume group is okay.
